The TRUE finally boss of Gen 2. :P

I really like the way you have the nice muted background and then have the more cartoony Wooper with nice lighting, it really makes the whole thing pop and make it oddly intimidating yet adorable.

Great work!

FlumpyTripod responds:

Thank you very much

[The Call]

I really like how you shaded all the rocks and especially the background, so much so I might need to study this drawing later to learn some tricks.

Oh! The image as a whole is good too. That's a cool skull bike. :P

Enjoyyourlife8 responds:

Really really appreciate this, getting so happy of this kind of comments haha :D!
Hmm.. maybe I need to do a speeddrawing video soon to a new piece so maybe you can get a closer look how I working me forward :) But once again, fun to see you liked it :)

[Icey Landscape Redraw]

That's some substantial improvement!
With the image scaled down to fit onto the page the 2nd version almost looks photo realistic! :D

I really like the colorfulness of the first version, but I also really enjoy the contrast of the warm sunset and the cool snow of the second version. Althout I'd saw that the 2nd version has better composition and the little bear benefits from being bigger and getting more details.

Keep it up! :)

GavinWynford responds:

Awesome feedback thank you so much! Glad you think so:)

[Dorian's]

Not bad!
Do you draw shadows and highlights in flat colours and then blur them to get the colour transitions you want? Or do you use a different technique?

Just asking 'cuz I like the glowy effect you've got going on here. :P

dogdoujin responds:

Thanks! I used a few different layers here, some shading was done in flats and others were done with an airbrush/blur tool to make it look a little foggy.

[Crystal Kneecapp]

Cave Of The Cyrstal Knee-monchers. :P

In terms of postitioning and composition this looks super good, however one thing kinda stands out to me. (Keeping in mind I'm no expert on anatomy or anything, or what style you're goin' for...) Her legs just seem a wee-bit too long in relation to her torso and head.

Other than that, this is a fine piece you got going on here.
Keep it up! :D

Rocktopus64 responds:

Thank you very much!

Colleen is a really tall girl (she's 6 feet tall), and really skinny. Though thank you for the feedback; I'll make note of it for next time.

[[42] These Happy Days]

Come August I'll be begging for the cold embrace of Winter, Canadians don't do well in the heat...@_@

On an actually artistically relevant to this art piece note, really diggin' your wispy clouds at the top corners and the fade from the blue colours at the forefront to the pinkish purples towards the horizon. : D

Precipitation24 responds:

Thank you!!

[Valley]

That golden tree lighting and shadows, that's the best part of a hike sometimes to see that stuff. Great work emulating it man! You got some cool SNES vibes going on with this piece. :P

Kldpxl responds:

Thank you!

[Deltamon]

Hell yeah! Deltamon is one of my favorite mons. :P
Good work with the colouring and the shading, but I think with ever so slightly darker shading on the robot arm and another shine or two would help it look more metallic.

Keep up the good work!

TylerGrendel responds:

Thanks for the feedback! This was my first attempt at actually using shading brushes and I can definitely agree with that.

[Winter]

This is a 'cool' drawing you got here. :P
I like how you get the clouds to fade into the light the closer they are to the sun hidden behind and the detail of the sloped road.

Did you use reference at all or do you just have a lot of practice under your belt?

Diverart responds:

Like 10 references haha, and a lot of composition techniques

[Chinatown 20XX]

This must have taken FOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVEEEER! @_@
Seriously, I sometimes use Sketch-Up to mock up backgrounds and it takes ages, and I'm not even texturing anything! :P

Great work, I'm interested to see the finished result. :)

Kel-chan responds:

sketchup, autodesk are awesome....It took like a day just to convert some pieces into direct x format so i could play with them. The telephone poles were like 63MB
